When playing I'm a Poet (and yes, I know it) players take turns reading the "I'm A Poet" riddles off of the game cards. First a clue that rhymes with the correct answer. Then, a poetic couplet that helps define the answer by giving the players a clue. All other players race to be first to figure out the answer. If a guess is correct, they win the card. If they are wrong, the reader wins it! Oh yeah, before you can answer, you must first grab the foam bust of "Willy Shakes"! To be the game victor, one of each of the 3 parts of "Willy Shake's" face must be collected.
